Gianni_Gon Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hallo, I apologize for posting twice the same subject, but it is still unclear to me how to solve this problem. When importing an audio file, the tempo is increased drastically: - Keep Tempo is enabled - sample rate (whether it's the same or different then the project) it doesnt seem to affect - Manually changing the tempo doesnt affect the region either Im really clueless Any help would be so much appreciated Thank You!

David Nahmani Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 What format is your audio file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni_Gon Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi David, it is an mp3 audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 mp3 is a distribution format, you need to work with a production format (PCM files like .wav or .aif). There's a known issue with mp3 in Catalina. Convert your mp3 to wav and try using the wav file in Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni_Gon Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Oh, I see... I converted it in .wav and in .aif using different online converters and everytime I imported it in Logic it got stuck. I had to quit Logic several times now. Also the size of the files went from 9 MB b to 54 Mb Maybe I should download a converter that works well with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Try using iTunes or QuickTime for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution cinningbao Posted August 11, 2020 Solution Share Posted August 11, 2020 ... Also the size of the files went from 9 MB b to 54 MbMaybe I should download a converter that works well with this? Yes, is this exactly what you would expect. MP3 is a compressed format, meaning it only stores the bits which 'make sound', so it's a lot smaller than an uncompressed file, like WAV or AIFF. I'd guess the file is around 4-5 minutes? 54MB is within expected parameters. It might not be obvious to you how to use Quicktime to convert your file to a format Logic/Catalina is happy with. I'd recommend downloading Audacity, opening your MP3 file in that and going File -> Export -> Export as WAV. Using that output file in Logic shouldn't cause you any problems. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
